Kiva Loans

(cross-posted from my Algebra Class Blog)

It took a while because Kiva didn't have very many available loans there for a little bit, but I was finally able to loan out the $300 we raised for Kiva today. I picked 12 different entrepreneurs/groups in Kyrgyzstan and loaned them each $25. They are all women (or the groups include women), as empowering women in underdeveloped countries is one of the best ways to help.

Here are the 12 different loans:

1. Mairambu Azimbaeva's Group
2. Bubush Rysmendieva
3. Gulmayram Sarybaeva
4. Zoya Estebesova
5. Gulnur Taylakova
6. Olmoskan Suerkulova's Group
7. Gulchahira Rysbaeva
8. Nazira Karalaeva's Group
9. Uulkan Ermamat Kyzy's Group
10. Tilebat Batyrbekova's Group
11. Jumabubu Orokova's Group
12. Nurhan Ergeshova's Group

Click through the links to learn more about these folks, and consider contributing on your own to Team Shift Happens (or just to Kiva in general, it doesn't have to be part of a team).
